Operation Body Count is a 3D shooting game built using a modified version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine. Unfortunately, the game does not offer much in the way of improvements over the basic Wolf3D formula, while at the same time lacking that certain ineffable quality that made Wolf3D so engaging. It features average graphics and sounds, and may be worth playing if you are a fan of 3D games from this era, otherwise you may want to take another spin through Wolf3D instead.Operation Body Count is a first-person shooter game released in 1994 for MS-DOS. The game was developed by The Software Refinery and published by IntraCorp. It is set in a fictional urban environment, and players take on the role of a soldier tasked with clearing out enemy forces in various environments.In Operation Body Count, players are placed in a first-person perspective and must fight their way through enemies using various weapons.
